Self-Publisher's Legal Handbook, Second Edition: Updated Guide to Protecting Your Rights and Wallet, Paperback

Building on the best-selling success of the original Self-Publisher's Legal Handbook, Helen Sedwick wrote this expanded second edition to help writers stay out of court and at their desks.

Using 30 years of legal experience, Sedwick shows writers how to

• Set up their business
• Protect their copyright
• Avoid infringement
• Spot scams
• Save on taxes.

This second edition covers additional topics including

• Choosing a pen name
• Using lyrics and images
• Writing about real people
• Fighting content theft
• Dealing with estate planning
• Expanding beyond the book.

Don't lose your copyright by signing a bad contract, or waste money by buying into a scam, or lose sleep by getting sued for defamation. Self-Publisher's Legal Handbook helps writers navigate the legal aspects of writing and independent publishing.
